20K Dave’s Home
The $20K House is an ongoing research project at the Rural Studio that aims to solve the problem of providing decent, affordable homes that are beautiful and well-built. Dave's Home was built for $20,000 where around $12,000 was allocated for materials and the remaining $8,000 covered labor costs and contractor profit.
This was a design/build project, completed with Charity Bulgrien and Ian Cook, while at the Rural Studio's Outreach Program. It was featured in the Small Scale Big Change exhibit at MoMA, NY.
